Evan Williams Black Label bourbon is the No. 3 largest selling whiskey in the US., behind Jack Daniels No.7 and Jim Beam White Label. Evan Williams is one of the labels of Heaven Hill Distilleries, along with Henry T. McKenna, Elijah Craig, Fighting Cock, Old Fitzgerald, Parker's Heritage, and Heaven Hill. Evan Williams Black Label is 7 years old
Nose: moderate in intensity, sweet, caramel, vanilla, some oak
Taste: This is a rather simple bourbon, sweet, fairly woody, light in body. It is not unpleasant, but rather lacking in complexity. I would never want to dilute this further than it already is
Finish: pretty short in duration, with spice exiting early to leave only a sweet somewhat woody glow
Balance: this is popular with the general public because it is easy, like a wine cooler. It works fine if you are looking for simple, sweet, and easy. The more aged single barrel versions are quite excellent
Find where to buy Evan Williams whisky
Would you recommend the 1783 #10, or the 1999 single barrel as the stronger representation of Evan Williams?
